Benjamin Pearce — London, UK

Ben Pearce honed his breezy and fun graphic sensibility during a prolonged fishing trip to New Zealand.

After graduating from Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, Pearce began doing illustrations for a small design company, but after his six-month sojourn down under, where he taught himself flash and html (when not perfecting his fishing skills), he went 3D. Now illustration director at London agency Glue, Pearce crafts stylized graphics and animation with a playful touch.
